http://www.safedry.com/This post is of a terrazzo restoration we did in Tampa. The floor had vinyl tile on it. we ground the floor and polished it using an HTC grinder. The floor was a gray Portland cement with a wide variety of marble chips broadcast into it. This terrazzo floor is around fifty years old and has never been restored in the past. As you can see the floor turned out looking great. In fact the home owner labeled the outcome, "Outstanding,".
At SafeDry we use diamonds to polish all the way up to a great shine. We do not show every step, but we never use a topical sealer or finish. Our goal is for a perfect shine with nothing added to the floor to enhance that shine. Remember this terrazzo floor is fifty years old. There is no other floor that could stand up to that many years of abuse and be restored to this level.
Many people cover their terrazzo floor. These floors are mostly marble, so why would anyone want to cover marble that can shine like this.
Many people ask how our system for terrazzo restoration differs from others. I gave an estimate this week in Venice Florida and the woman had just had her kitchen done. She showed me where the last guy had done a test area with a hand grinder and told her that was what the floor would look like. When he came to do the floor he stripped the floor, then crystallized and was done. He never used a grinder on the floor. This situation is so full of problems we can not even go into them all. We always grind and never crystallize or recrystallize. We polish up to a high shine with diamond and no tricks. We do not take shortcuts. If you recrystallize without polishing you are not creating a shine that will last.
